Ketoforce Cream

Ketoforce Cream is a topical antifungal medicine containing ketoconazole in a cream dosage form, supplied by Healing Pharma India Pvt. Ltd. in a strip/box of 10 tubes. It is used on the skin to treat fungal and yeast-related skin infections, such as ringworm, jock itch, and athlete’s foot, when a prescriber recommends ketoconazole cream. Ketoforce Cream works locally where it is applied, helping reduce the fungi that cause itching, scaling, redness, and irritation.

How it works: Ketoconazole blocks a substance fungi need to build their cell wall, which weakens and stops their growth. As a cream, Ketoforce Cream delivers this action directly to the infected skin so the medicine can work where it is needed most.

Because Ketoforce Cream is a topical cream and not an oral medicine, it is meant for direct skin treatment rather than whole-body infection treatment. This form is often chosen when a doctor wants ketoconazole applied right to the affected area for targeted relief and a lower risk of body-wide effects than oral ketoconazole.

• Ringworm (tinea corporis)
• Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis)
• Jock itch (tinea cruris)
• Cutaneous yeast infections
• Seborrheic dermatitis on the skin

• Apply Ketoforce Cream only to clean, dry skin unless your doctor gives different directions.
• Use a thin layer on the affected area and a small margin of surrounding skin.
• Wash your hands before and after applying, unless the hands are the treated area.
• Do not put the cream in the eyes, mouth, nose, or vagina, and do not swallow it.
• Use it at the times and for the full length of treatment prescribed, even if symptoms improve early.
• If the skin becomes very irritated, stop applying it and contact your prescriber.

Each tube of Ketoforce Cream contains ketoconazole as labeled, and the exact amount applied per use is based on the area being treated rather than a fixed oral dose. It is usually applied once or twice daily, but the prescriber decides the schedule and how long to continue treatment for this specific cream. Do not use more than directed, because applying extra cream does not speed recovery and may increase irritation.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Ketoconazole may include:

• Mild burning or stinging where applied
• Itching at the application site
• Redness or irritation of the skin
• Dry or peeling skin
• A slight rash or tenderness at the treated area

• Use only on the skin; Ketoforce Cream is not for eyes, mouth, or internal use.
• Tell your doctor if you are allergic to ketoconazole or other antifungal medicines.
• Avoid covering the area with airtight dressings unless your prescriber specifically tells you to do so.
• Use caution on broken, raw, or very inflamed skin because irritation can be stronger.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, ask your clinician before using Ketoforce Cream.
• Do not use this cream for longer than prescribed, even if the rash changes slowly.
• If you do not improve after the prescribed course, you may need a different diagnosis or treatment.

• Other topical products that can irritate skin, such as alcohol-based cleansers, retinoids, or harsh exfoliants
• Steroid creams used on the same area unless your prescriber approves the combination
• Other antifungal products applied to the same skin area without medical advice
• Strong skin medications that increase dryness or burning when used together

Store Ketoforce Cream at room temperature, keep the tube tightly closed, and protect it from excessive heat and moisture.
